Male Hostel 'Unhindered Madness'

It has been ages since this blog was used... the last post was about Sportingo; something that Moiz was talking about and i never bothered to check out... Neeways... Tendulkar scored a fucking double century .... that man is a god.... he is fucking thirty seven and he carried his bat through without using a runner.... and this was against South Africa and not against one of the minions... I am a bit sad that Saeed Anwar's 194 (check out his beard on the cricinfo page) got surpassed but i'm glad that the record was broken by a batsman who deserves RESPECT... p.s. The dawn editorial is interesting... It has been a while since i have seen a totally sports related editorial in any of the major newspapers from Pakistan...

I have been a Sportingo follower for the past 2 years at least. All that time i had been meaning to write and be published at that portal but could not find enough momentum to get the work done. There were ideas floating here and there but nothing concrete could set in. But things have changed and i have my first work appearing on the website. It is about the decline of hockey in Pakistan. My initial draft was around 1200 words and talked about the topic in some detail but it was sent back for review and trimming down. After trimming and a very dedicated review by the editors the article is now on the website. I must remark that the team at sportingo has been very helpful all through the process and their attitude has really motivated me to write more. I plan to do so soon. Mean while you can read my article here or alternatively browse to more sports section and read it from there. Technorati Tags: Sportingo , Sports , Pakistan , Hockey

The Pakistani Spectator is doing a good job at looking at things and then commenting on the affairs related to Pakistan. They are running a series of interviews within the blogosphere. I am lucky to have been counted in . I have also taken up writing on the same portal. I go by the same nick, MK. Technorati Tags: TPS , The Pakistani Spectator , Interview , Blogosphere

I could never muster any courage nor get any time to watch soaps on Pakistani TV channels. Every now and then, though, I get to catch a glimpse of TV screen while transiting through the TV lounge to any other part of the house. All I see is a shot of a women, which is either zooming in or zooming out, and the women weeping, sorrowfully. I am told that at times whole episodes are dedicated to shots of a woman, either sitting or standing, in a lush lounge of a lavishly built house and weeping over one thing or the other. I am also told that it is safe to assume that almost 80% of the time screen shots involve a character who is in remorse over either something lost or something found. There is too much crying and wailing involved in the Pakistani soaps of the day. These soaps are too depressive for a general viewer. Women find these emotionally charged soaps very interesting and close to their hearts. Generally because they think that they can relate to all the depression depicted

Our fellow blogger and Doctor Kashif has been writing some really interesting and instructive posts on his personal blog at Neurotics-De-Kashif . He has been one of the few authors of this blog who still actively write and share their thoughts with us. I have always found his web presence very encouraging and similarly for Uzer at Uzer.org . Both blogs are worth a read.

The power crisis seems to have been overcome for the time being in Pakistan. Or the population has grown used to frequent power shutdowns. I think the second option is more probable. However the danger of plunging into darkness remains ever so imminent. While we are plunging into darkness the sun remains shining brighter and brighter above us in the never so blue sky. Our Govt. seems reluctant in harnessing the power of sun for wide scale use. To be very true almost all Govt. remain skeptical of the use of solar energy for meeting population demands. With oil prices driving everyone mad this trend might not last long enough. In the more developed parts of the world where populations hardly get to notice the vulnerability of natural resources the heat is turning on for more non-conventional methods of generating energy. I have always been a big fan of solar cells and have had faith in all that they can do to change our world. The solar cells of the 90's however were not capa

Lt. Gen. Mushtaq Ahmed Baig became a victim of suicide bombing in Rawalpindi. He was one of our kin, a medical doctor by profession. He was a healer; someone who everyone seeks when injured or dying. It is hard to believe that someone would consider him a villain in the larger scale of the politics. He was a doctor not a killer. True that he was a soldier but he was also a doctor. He was the surgeon general of Pakistan. I do not know him but his picture speaks of a gentleman who was pretty much innocuous and kind. Who would benefit from his death? Local Taliban have reportedly postponed their strikes till the new govt. comes into shape. So they in all possibility are out of the suspect list. Any political party has no interest in destabilizing their new achieved political power. So they are out too. A personal/domestic disagreement leading to killing through suicide is a far fetched idea too. On the other hand Al-Qaeda will want to destabilize the country so that they can g
